Fun in the Sun

 The link for this week's live-streamed service is here.

Thursday was  a beautiful day. The sun shone, but not too hot, a breeze ruffled the air, but not too much, and there were no mosquitos. What could make such a day better? Why mini-golf, of course. Ten of us from SPPC headed off to the Island View course.  

Now golf, especially mini-golf, is a serious affair. Here Bill takes a few minutes in prayer before taking his putt.

There are signs on the course asking players to stay off the gravel. Even so, some of us found the out-of-bounds under a rock, in the weeds,  or in a stone pile. 

There were a few good shots. Abigail got a hole-in-one, but hers was the only star turn. The course rules said no more than 5 strokes per hole and there were many 5's on the score cards. 

It is a very pretty course so I took a few pictures of the water features, unsullied by errant golf balls.

At the end of our round we took an "after" shot to go with the "before" shot at the top of this blog.

Then it was on to lunch at Mary's Blue Moon. At that time the group grew to 17 -- quite a lot for the restaurant to handle. 

Once we were all settled service was quick and friendly, with coffee and tea and water appearing in only a few minutes. They provided a special menu -- still with lots of choice -- for a large group. I was very impressed that all of the meals came at once. 

This blog has featured several "summertime" posts over the past weeks. Our mini-golf tournament, is definitely a summertime event -- filled with laughter, good company and gratitude for the many blessings of recreation in God's creation.

Thanks to Eileen and Janet for sharing their pictures on this post.
